Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 4, 1919.

Application filed October 21, 1918. Serial No. 258,926.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, RENE: JEAN OAMILLETAMPIER, citizen of the Republic of France, and resident ofBoulogne-sur-Seine, France, (postoflice address 1 Rue de Bellevue,) haveinvented a new and useful Feeding Apparatus for Internal-CombustionMotors, which improvements are fully set forth in thefollowingspecification.

This invention relates to feeding apparatus for internal combustionmotors, based on the use of a carbureter without steady level, thenozzle of which communicates directly with a tank placed below it, fromwhich the gasolene required for working the motor is being sucked.

In the annexed drawing:

Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of the apparatus, and

Fig. 2 relates to a development of the invention.

The in-t-ake manifold of the motor 1 is connected to a carbureter 2without steady level, into which a nozzle 3 opens, said nozzlecommunicating at its lower end with a horizontal pipe 4 to which anelevated supply tank 5 is connected. This tank has a depending outletpipe which leads to pipe 4 and is provided with a cock 6.

A second or relief tank 7 is placed in rear of, and at a lower levelthan the nozzle 3 and has connected to its bottom an upwardly extendingpipe which is also connected to pipe 4, hydrocarbon being sup plied topipe l and hence to nozzle 3, when cock 8 is opened.

The whole device works in the following way: To start the motor, thecock 6 is opened, the gasolene flowing by gravity to the nozzle throughthe pipe 4.

The motor having started to run, and suction being created in the tank5, the cock 8 is then opened, whereupon a part of the gasolene from thetank 5 begins to flow into the tank 7 this being insured by thearrangement of the sections of the pipework.

The cock 6 is then shut. The motor still running now sucks in gasolenethrough the nozzle 3 from the lower tank 7.

Fig. 2 shows an improvement of the device described above, in case itshould be preferred to use the tank 5 as a relief tank, instead of usingit only for starting the motor; this tank being placed higher than thetank 7, the quantity of gasolene being sucked by the motor from the tank7 will be less than that supplied by the tank 5.

To obviate this, the carbureter has connected to it a second nozzle 9communicating with the tank 7. When the cock 8 is open, the cock 6 shut,and the cook 12 open, the gasolene is sucked by the nozzle 3 and theextra nozzle 9.

Claim:

A feeding apparatus for internal combustion motors, comprising a nozzle,two hydrocarbon tanks communicating with the nozzle, one of which isplaced at a higher level, the second at a lower level than the nozzle,means to effect communication between both tanks and the nozzle, anextra nozzle adjacent the first nozzle, and means to effectcommunication between the extra nozzle and the lower tank whereby anextra amount of hydrocarbon is delivered to the motor when fed from thelower tank.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification.
